Oil Filter Relocation Kit Question...

[neoRSwagon]

hey guys, just thinking about getting an oil filter relocation kit, one with out a cooler" , but when i install it, does it just screw onto the stock oil cooler? or do you have to remove it and block coolent lines or...?? as im sick of spending 45 mins getting the oil off the front diff. cheers

the filter relocator kits dont change the way stock cooler is plumbed. you just screw the sandwich plate into the block and run the lines to the relocator which most people put on the rhs strut tower

hmm thanks man.. i was thinking bout getting one from car toys or something, just sick of changing the filter and oil going all ovr the diff and such..

[pistol-pete]

try it on a 26, its a real pain in the arse if you dont move the filter

Used to do that with the Rb30 in my old r31 wagon, definitely makes less mess.

This method also works on ugly chicks.......

The plastic bag trick never worked for me, I still always ended up with oil all over the place. Oil filter relIcation kit makes it so much easier and cleaner.

Isent a PM but just realized that you cant PM yet. I relocated my filter to the D/S strut tower and moved the fuel filter back when fitting the F/F plenum and front mount. I also incorporated sensors in the lines for oil pressure and temperature gauges.

I have Relocation kit & kept stock filter too,

I PLASTIC BAG FILTER & put rag on top of diff & its ok no oil sitting there,

& i use New Fitler on Engine & move old filter to relocation,

as i run 20,000 per oil change & change filter at 10,000,

My Oil cooler has Thermostat in it,

best buy kits from states as most double there money on any kit brought here in Australia,

you can get adaptor with Thermostat in it ,

i priced a inline thermostat here & was quoted $120+,

got one from states for $45 usd,same price as TRANSMISSION FILTER KIT,

as you see both are in same spot ,

Run a good size oil line too,not a small line as you want good flow to any filter,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

wow, i really need to get one of those.. :-/ plastic bag hands up lol but still cant beat the relocation ... hmm.. oh and thanks for the pics chuckie

yeh if someone finds a good quality good priced kit to suit, let me know. i did my first change on it about a month ago and couldnt believe how tricky it was to get in there and then the mess ensued.

relocation kit would be awesome and allow you to run an even bigger filter if you wanted.

Got my genuine greddy for 260 delivered off US eBay smokey, waiting till my next change to fit it, seems like a good piece of kit though.

Be careful with the Greddy kits - the lines on the one I got were way to short for the application. Do a check fit before you actually put it in, and go get some more line if you need it.

cable ties.... Make sure you fasten it with cable ties.

P.S. May stop breathing.

The lines on my Greddy kit were a bit short for my liking. I have bolted the bracket under the fuel filter bracket. Still nice & easy to get to.

Pics aren't the best, will take a better one on my day off.

The only problem with this is it makes the dipstick a pain in the arse to get to. I initially did it this way, but got the shits, cause I check my oil daily.

Getting new hose (not braided, but then again, I'm not a bling king, and I'm not running stupid pressure through it) cost me $30, including the 4 hose clamps that i needed.

Edit: Noticed that you're using an OX-03 filter in there as well, the relocation kit is actually designed to take an OX-02, slightly bigger.

I redid my oil line and moved my kit up closer to the top.
